Hardware

The core processor is assisted by an ARM Mali-820MP3 GPU that generates a maximum speed of 750MHz. The powerful configuration enables the Android TV box to play anything you throw at it.

Due to the higher specifications, the speed of T95Z Plus is much better than other TV boxes. The box comes with Android 7.1 Marshmallow that gives it an extra edge over other boxes with older Android versions.

The device comes with integrated storage capacity of 16GB, while the users can extend the capacity to additional 32GB with an SD card.

However, the storage capacity should be much higher, as users will definitely find it difficult to store a number of ultra-big file sizes for 4k movies. The low storage capacity will make it difficult for the users to save their favorite movies and TV shows in HD format. However, considering most of the movies will be streamed, this is something we can look past.

The device has the ability to play 4K videos using H.265 encoding and full HD (1080p) files. The box comes with remote control, power supply, HDMI cable and user guide. Several ports are available across the back three sides of its hexagonal shape.

The first port from the left side is a USB port allows the users to connect external devices like additional flash drive, keyboard, and mouse. The next is the Gigabyte Ethernet Port designed for wired internet connection for faster speed. However, the box is featured with dual band Wi-Fi connection facility that allows the user to enjoy high-speed wireless connectivity.

The third is the SPDIF/Optical Port that enables the user to connect the device with surround systems. The next is for power, while the fifth and sixth ports are dedicated to HDMI and AV cables. There is another USB port with similar functional capabilities, while the Micro SD Card Slot on the right side will help the user to extend the storage capacity. However, using the slot is optional, as the device already comes with 16GB internal storage capacity.
